Live Domestic Diva Style

I’ve heard the urban legend of how woman burned their bras back in the late 60’s. Silly, no? They obviously weren’t privy to La Perla or Oprah’s bra fitting techniques back then. I happen to think that miracle bra’s and stilettos go great with a briefcase. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water – ya know what I’m saying? Isn’t the idea of freedom to be exactly who we were created to be? Whether that means being a beauty queen
(hello Esther), CEO, Stay-at-home-mom or a combination of all of the above. Today’s modern domestic diva is not June Cleaver. Unless, of course, she wants to be.

In my short time as a mommy (my kids are still little) I’ve already had several roles. Working mom. SAHM. Part time SAHM. More-than-enough denero to wondering ‘are we gonna to be homeless?’ Woman these days have all sorts of roles,dreams and continued confusions about what it means to be a woman. Yes,even in this century. That guilt always seems to be there lurking beneath the surface. “Am I enough?”

So, the point of all of this? Well, it is part of the reason for my blog. All of these unanswered questions about how to be a wife, mom, woman etc. in today’s world. Many of us grew up with those moms who may have been out there burning their bra’s, getting divorced, climbing the corporate ladder or Lord knows what. Most seem to have shed any traditional roots. Leaving many of us with lots of unanswered questions about true femininity. Not that some of us didn’t have these great, wonderful examples of woman who taught us to raise babies,cook, sew, grow gardens, be thrifty, throw grand parties and be rock stars in the bedroom to boot. Though, even those woman I know who did have a great lineage such as this still often feel a bit inadequate at times. That being true – no wonder the many of us who did come from bra-burning divorcee’s are totally confused when it comes to all this domestic stuff. Some of us turn our backs on it in an effort to think it will just go away. Others of us embrace it whole-heartedly and seek to be the little Martha Stewart’s of our community. Then, some of us are in-between. We sometimes stumble around the kitchen to bring meals to friends having babies, try to dress at least somewhat this century and can’t get enough of HGTV. I am personally in that last category. I am by no means an expert on any of this diva domesticus stuff. Though,I do think that we all have an inner Domestic Diva and I want to help call her forth in all of us. Truth is, it really can be fun to bust outwith a new recipe or way to save money on groceries. Who’d of thunk?The point of my blog is to share the things as I learn them, hear from others on their tips and tricks so that together we can all stand up -whether in baby spit-up covered t-shirts and chipped nails or glammed outwith our runway ready outfit – let us all say “I am woman – hear me ROAR!!!!” Domestic Diva’s Unite!!! Let’s take on this journey and embrace our inner Diva!
